Where will Brendan Rodgers go next?

After he left LFC there was a lot of talk about Brendan going to a top European club. Now he is talked about as returning to Swansea.

Which club do you think he will end up next?

I think the Times reported in the week that he will not take the Swansea job because he wants to manage England next. 

England manager's job in the summer I think. Got some fans in the FA who like his  development credentials. They'll see him as some sort of Glenn Hoddle type - someone who will instill technical based football with a relatively young side...just without the prejudices towards the disabled obviously.

With a bit of luck he will go to Manure or Chelsea, he is dreaming if he thinks he can land the England job.

Is this relevant ?

Does it matter ?

Ordinarily a top 8 PL club...a Spurs or Everton, but none are available. Would be very surprised if Chelsea or the Mancs hired him except on a short term basis.

England possibly, though I'd have thought Pardew and a couple of others would be more likely picks.

That only leaves Real Madrid...

Unless he wants to take quite a big step down he may just have to sit tight for a bit.

I don't think Real Madrid would be that stupid to replace a manager with the class of Rafa with Rodgers. I realise you made the Madrid quote tongue in cheek.

No.

No.

Read they want to replace Rafa with Jose Maureen.

who cares?

why is this in the Kop forum and not in "general football" or "futures of fraudulent managers"?

He did his job and he made us dream but I don't care where he ends up.

Again that would be a backward step for Real Madrid, give me Rafa over Mourinho any day.

 Because the boss can put the thread anywhere he wants.

He should look for some Championship club,no presure.

Newcastle once Mclaren gets bagged, ideal fit imo,  they might be in the Championship by then tho, which would suit Rodgers,  no pressure to stay in the prem, and he can build like he did at Swansea,

Best of luck to the fella,  good manager,  just not good enough for us!


YNWA

Spot on Skip, I don't think it does. No harm in discussing it but honestly my only interest will be if he is manager at one of our rivals which I don't think any of those will take a chance on him. Other than that a passing interest in terms of how poor I thought he was here and to see if he appoints Colin as his number 2.

Spurs/Everton are the ones I could see taking a punt on him but he wanted to manage in spain, he's got absolutely no hope in hell of getting Barca/Real but below them it wouldn't be the biggest shock in the world.

He's rich, he has his property portfolio so he's in no rush whatsoever and he's very fortunate to be in that position considering his track record.

Certainly no where near this club, not a topic that belongs in the Kop.

Realistically where does he go in England after Liverpool..........?

A shot at the Champs League with Celtic might be an interesting departure.

Otherwise I don't care - even then it's just a vicarious interest through my eldest (who's wearing red and white more than green and white these days!) and the mrs.......Funnily enough she'd hate it if BR went there - he's a fake for all the personal stuff as far as she's concerned. 

Seems FA want to offer Hodgeson a new deal so Rodgers will probably manage Ireland if it's international football.

This thread confirms what we all knew before he got the boot---that there was a large section of our supporters more interested in the success of Brendan Rodgers than the success of our club.  They were willing to let us drop farther and farther, willing to give Rodgers unlimited funds so he could sign the likes of Christian "The Statue" Benteke, etc etc, all because they wanted Rodgers to succeed.  Not us.  No no no.  Who cares about the club. 

And now that he is gone they still care more about him than our club.  Oh what is Brendan up to, is he feeling ok, where will he be next?  hopefully he'll find a club to manage soon so they can go support him at that club and feck off from ours.

Brendan F***ing Rodgers.  A feckless fraud who poisoned our club.

And now that he is gone they still care more about him than our club.

Get a grip.

From what I can see pretty much everyone who's posted in the thread was of somewhere near the same opinion of Brendan as yourself, stop being a bellend. 

Ax for where he'll end up, f*** knows. I have about as much idea about where he'll end up as I do about the "lots of talk of Him going to a top European club" in the topic starter. Who said that? I don't recall reading it on here.

Read they want to replace Rafa with Jose Maureen.

no they don't the Ex President does which is totally different. Real have seen that changing manager every season has not brought them the success of Barca just one league title in 7 I think.

Seeing as I started the topic I'll assume you aimed that at me.

Yeah this probably shouldn't have gone in the Kop (not the end of the world) but if someone has something they want to hear others opinion on then they can post.

I can see above some people moaning about him being talked about yet those same people mention him in post match threads.

I won't be running my posts through you first.

Which club do you think he will end up next?

Garlands!!

I think he needs to lower his expectations a wee bit to be honest.  As an Englishman and an England fan I would not like to see him anywhere near that job. (even though we have got a right plonker in the job at the moment) 

But he did do one terrific thing for LFC!!!!

He made the owners realise they had to go out and get the very best manager available and not sod about with unproven potential like himself or dodery old farts like Roy Hodgson. So some good did come out of his incompetence.

After he left LFC there was a lot of talk about Brendan going to a top European club. Now he is talked about as returning to Swansea.

Which club do you think he will end up next?

A club with (great) character for sure!

Garlands!!

think he is more a "Grafton" man

A club with (great) character for sure!

Also one that works hard for the group...

I'm not gonna bash him to much,in truth he wasn't good enough along with Hodgson and should never have been appointed. If Rafa had to be sacked at that time(which I'm not sure about anyway) Kenny should have replaced him straight away, we could have even brought Rafa back when Kenny got sacked.
The owners got it wrong with BR but the guy ended up one game from legend status largely due to Suarez, that said even if we'd have won the league in 13/14 BR would have still been sacked for Klopp this season.

even if we'd have won the league in 13/14 BR would have still been sacked for Klopp this season.

And Klopp is now being let down by some BR signings.

F***ing depressing the level of bile some people have for BR.

No idea where he will go, but regards the England job - why not. If Hodgson and McLaren can get it, why not him.

A lot of over the top reactions in here.

I'm sure everyone has a level of curiosity as to where Brendan will end up whether you like him or not.

Even those that obviously hate the man will be keen to see him fall on his face.

While those who judge him more objectively might even wish him well and hope he fulfills some of the potential he showed with us at times.

think he is more a "Grafton" man

Was photographed in Garlands when he first joined the club

then he has missed out on a life changing night out. (Don't know if the Grafton is open anymore)

Bile,Hatred really this is probably the most reasonable forum going I don't like seeing that posted because its not true. Some posts are clearly a bit personal some taking the piss somewhat but "Hated and Bile" no I don't see that.

I probably see him going for an Xmas break with his bird, Aspen or somewhere like that.

Real Madrid?

Real Madrid?

Naughty boy Mick...

Why so Shabbadabbadoo? In all seriousness I've no idea where he'll end up and although I liked him while he was our manager and think he did a decent job, I'm not really bothered either way. I'm like that with everyone at our club, while they play for us and manage us I'm all interested, once they move on I can't really be bothered. It kind of feels like it isn't my business anymore, particularly if they go play or manage abroad. A bit like old Dirk Kuyt at wherever he is in Holland and apparently banging them in left right and centre, good luck to him and all that but I'd be lying if I said I was massively interested.

Is this relevant ?

Does it matter ?

If it isn't relevant and doesn't matter to you then don't click on the thread. F***ing dead easy.

Just made myself chuckle too, I probably inadvertantly started a frenzied search fest there as people scanned every news bulletin to see if Benitez had been sacked  . Sorry fellas I didn't mean to induce a heart attack on the forum.

Hahaha

Well I don't care that much but I am interested to see how our former title challenging manager does. Is he a "fraud", no more than a mid-table manager, or can he go further and if so how much further...

Like Mick I hope Real Madrid make him their next appointment.

Supported Brendan whole heartedly while he was our boss, but not really finding myself overly interested in where he ends up.
I would prefer if he managed a team in a different country where he couldn't come back to haunt us, as I still rate him as a manager.

you are going to have to change your name because you simply cant post in any thread without naming Rafa in it. Oh but you love Rafa just like the cu*ts who said the same about Kenny " I love Kenny but". As for Brendan he has two options one for his Ego and one for his talent neither of them will lead him to Real

 Breaking News: Brendan Rodgers announces his next destination

To the shi**er.

Unfortunately, he's at one of his rental properties.

To be fair to Mick he has never said "I love Rafa but" as far as I've seen him post on here mate.

If a huge ego is the same thing as huge confidence in his own ability, as I believe is the case with Brendan, I've no doubt Brendan believes he's perfect for the job.

Why so Shabbadabbadoo?

Simple Mick,Men with greater CV's than the novice Brendan have been given the Madrid job and been sacked in the process too after winning the champions league & titles, I don't think Brendan has earned that right yet to manage Real.

Imagine flying out with Madrid to face Bayern Munich and you take the whole playing staff for a day out to bond, fail to pick your most important player (the captain), pick a B team who show a good account of themselves & then don't get picked for the following match and brush it off after you loose,the Madrid supporters are really going to appreciate that, after all the team was showing 'character'

Brendan needs a championship club to rebuild his career.

I think a lower level Premier League club is his best bet of he's going to stay in England.

Or he'd be best doing a McLaren and going abroad and rebuilding from afar.

Or, could be a flash forward to Rafa's jacks before the next meeting with Barca...

That won't go down well. F**k it. Nothing against Rafa whatsoever, but slurry needs spreading...

F***ing depressing the level of bile some people have for BR.

Spot on. I know it was time for him to go well before he actually went, but he did give us a season to remember, with great attacking football lots of goals and "almost" a league title. (Yes, I also know that Suarez played a big part too)

I don't think he deserves to be thought of in the same way we do Hodgson. Never liked what I knew of Brendan as a person and no regrets he has gone, but now he has gone I am quite happy to give him a bit of respect as a manager.

Brendan needs a championship club to rebuild his career.

Excuse me, but do you get all your footballing knowledge from the Lad Bible?

Christ almighty, as much as Brendan had to go at the end I find it hilarious for some to suggest he has no managerial capabilities at all.

Championship clubs are his best hope now? Even his most adamant critics wouldn't suggest that, and his job at Swansea proves he's not a f**king Neil Warnock replica.

I think some people are being deluded and brainwashed by opposition fans mocking of Rodgers - in fact, in addition to The Lad Bible, I'm sure folk like Shabs gets all his knowledge of Rodgers from the Deluded Brendan Twitter account (set up by a Man Utd fan who attempted to make a Deluded Klopp account which, inevitably of course, failed to capture the imagination).

It's got to the stage where some of the comments on here make Adrian Durham look like Sigmund Freud.

Other than a promotion to his name what the F**k has Rodgers won in footballing terms other than the title 'Almost'?.

Laudrup took over from Rodgers and won a cup, maybe we should credit that to Rodgers.

Other than a promotion to his name what the f**k has Rodgers won in footballing terms other than the title 'Almost'?.

Only Liverpool manager to win the LMA Manager of the Year (something Rafa didn't win ) although Hodgson did also win it before he joined us.

 

Mer Personally, wish the fella all the best in his future, I'm happy with our lot in terms of manager at the minute and have no bitter feelings towards Rodgers, he came, he tried. we had our highs, we had our lows, following those he had to go.

Maybe Rodgers should manage Chelsea...at least he'd have them mid-table.

Oh come on guys. Unbelievable that some of you are talking about Rodgers in the same vein as Hodgson.

Hodgson is still quality banter though!

It's a tricky one when someone posts as much bollocks as you do, knowing whether or not it's worth responding to it. Generally I just let it go, because like with your "I love Rafa but..." line that you claim I've said here, your stuff is just so far out of whack you end up making yourself look like a complete bellend without me having to help you out. Thankfully I think anyone who has ever read any of my posts here or anywhere else will know that you are once again talking out of your @rse and don't need me to point it out. You're a strange one though, each time I think it can't get any worse you surpass yourself and come out with something even more ridiculous.

The bizarre thing is that mixed in with all the utter sh!t round about one post in every twenty five makes a valid point. I'd work on trying to reduce that ratio if I were you and spend less time on the keyboard gangster/mouth froth stuff. It's never been a good look. 

Brendan still dividing the family even after he's gone! Cheers Brendan 

Can only presume Brendan feels he manage a club the size as us next but he will need to swallow his pride and build his reputation at a smaller club again because his time at Liverpool was a failure.

Not that they need a new manager but West Ham would have been a good fit for him. Their supporters demand the type of football Brendan try's to employ, they were ripping their hair out with Fat Sam. I think he would do a job at Southampton too if Koeman ever left for another club. Realistically though I don't see any jobs in the prem for him at the moment.

His best option would be to go abroad and manage a club in a weak league like the bundesliga and try and get in the champions league which will bring some recognition. Werder Bremen or somebody like that. If he fails then nobody will really notice anyway. A bit like Moyes at Real Sociedad...he failed but was still linked with the Villa and Swansea jobs recently.

I liked Brendan and was very supportive of him but I eventually accepted that he needed to go.  I wish him all the best.

Only one way for Brendan, after leaving Liverpool, unfortunately for him  like Chelsea it's downwards.

It quite common for managers to return to their old clubs to take a player or 2 with them to their new club. Who would he likely come back for? Allen and Lovren maybe?

Rodgers seemed to divide a lot of opinions on here, the fact it's still going on in this thread and leading to petty sniping is pathetic. If you don't have anything constructive to contribute to the topic and more interested in having a pop at him or another member because their view isn't the same as yours then just sod off out the topic. Like it or not he was our manager for a few years and in that time there were good times as well as bad so like Benitez, people will talk about where he will end up and how he is getting on when he finds a new team.

Has anyone got a problem with this? If not then keep it on topic and cut out the sniping because all I am seeing when I click on this topic is bitching.

whooah insecure or what you actually calculate peoples voting ratios dear oh dear.
Word is he is actually waiting for the call at Chelsea although it would only be until the end of the season.

brilliant!!

Stop being so F***ing precious, it's like a battle to see who can save the fair princess Rodgers first!!

The F***ing LFC Fam have got a lot to F***ing answer for!!

Think you've just ruined it for everybody.

Only for the WUMs lad!

Maybe Chelsea?

Maybe Chelsea?

I think he'd struggle there Mick.

He's always seemed to be unable to handle the big name players and big egos and Chelsea are chock full of those.

I think it would be a big mistake for him to go there.

Dunno Si he seemed to manage Suarez all right. I actually think pretty much anyone at Chelsea would initiate a bounce, I think the players simply don't want to play for Mourinho.

Looks like Chelsea it is then!

Looks like Chelsea it is then!

Could well be on an interim basis and if he manages to get them doing well, who knows...

BREAKING NEWS: Jose Mourinho sacked as Chelsea manager

I must say I hope Brendan does get it, the forum will be electric for a few weeks  .

I must say I hope Brendan does get it, the forum will be electric for a few weeks  .

I hope he doesn't mate.

Really think its the wrong move for him.

Apparently it's Hiddink anyway.

I hope Rodgers does get the job, i think he will have them back up to 5 the by seasons end.

Could we see Rafa back if he was given the bullet by Madrid?..

I hope he doesn't mate.

Really think its the wrong move for him.

Apparently it's Hiddink anyway.

I've heard Hiddink on a  temporary basis just like it was the last time.

I think Brendan as an interim coach would have done fine there. He knows how to finish mid table with top 4 squads, perfect fit to be honest

I hope Rodgers does get the job, i think he will have them back up to 5 the by seasons end.

Why do you want to see Chelsea climb up to 5th?

I'm hoping Chelsea sign gollum, wouldn't want them to sign Brendan as Brendan might do too good a job. I have no doubt Brendan will be in for the job but I expect they will go for a bigger name like Hiddink or even try to persuade Ancelloti again.

I would like to see Brendan go abroad or get the England job, don't want him taking a job with any of our rivals. 

Maybe Chelsea?

It's a perfect fit for  them, he is well-suited for managing small clubs. Reckon he will manage to save them from relegation.
